Emmi Louise Walther (30 October 1860, Hamburg - 11 September 1936, Dachau) was a German painter, graphic artist and watercolorist. Most of her works are in the Art Nouveau or Symbolist styles.
She was born to a middle-class family and received her first art training from the landscape painter, Friedrich Schwinge. Later, she studied in Hannover, but did not become seriously interested in an artistic career until she was thirty. In 1896, she went to Munich, where she enrolled in the private painting school operated by Ludwig Schmid-Reutte.
After completing her studies there, she moved to the artists' colony at Dachau and worked with Adolf Hölzel. While there, she became friends with Emil Nolde and travelled to Paris with him, by way of Amsterdam, where she took classes at the short-lived Académie Carmen; making friends with Alphonse Mucha, Paula Becker and Clara Westhoff. After 1900, she spent time at the artists' colonies in Concarneau and Worpswede; staying with Becker, who had married the painter, Otto Modersohn.
After 1916, she became a permanent resident of Dachau. Three years later, she was one of the founding members of the Künstlervereinigung Dachau (Artists' Association), which still exists. [3] A street there has been named after her. [4]

The Munich Secession was an association of visual artists who broke away from the mainstream Munich Artists' Association in 1892, to promote and defend their art in the face of what they considered official paternalism and its conservative policies.

In 1901, the association split again when some dissatisfied members formed the group Phalanx. Another split occurred in 1913, with the founding of the New Munich Secession.
